We are pleased to announce that KSEA-SoCal and KWiSE are jointly developing a mentoring program for our members. To help understand the program and how it may benefit you, we are offering a mentoring workshop on November 23rd. We cordially invite KSEA-SoCal and KWiSE members who are interested in mentoring to attend this workshop. Whether you are interested in being a mentor or a mentee, this workshop will be a great time to know more about this new program and learn what you may benefit from it.

We will start the workshop with invited talks by mentoring experts. Dr. Darryl Yong from Havery Mudd College will introduce Harvey Mudd's mentoring program. Professor Yong is a founder and director of the Harvey Mudd College Student Mentoring Program that has been successfully running since 2011. Dr. Michael Hyung-Min Chung (former KSEA president) will also talk about his mentors and what their influences have been. We are going to invite two more speakers who will give us inspiration to be more successful in our careers and study using mentoring programs. So please don't miss this opportunity and register for the workshop athttp://sc-mentoring-workshop13.eventbrite.com/. Please understand that we can only take 60 participants due to the limited space.

After the talks, there will be delicious Korean-Asian lunch buffet followed by mock mentoring and social time. So if you are interested in finding a mentor, please prepare a short note about you such as your study, work, interests in careers, and questions you might have for a future mentor.

The workshop is free for the current KSEA and KWiSE members. At the check-in desk, non-current members will be asked to pay $20 event fee which includes lunch buffet. So please print your current KSEA membership card from http://www.ksea.org/login.aspx and bring it to the workshop (or send me your membership number prior to the event). I hope to see you all at the mentoring workshop! Thank you.
